Arguments

This application supports two start arguments. If you use the autostart argument, the application will automatically start your RPC in your local Discord client (if it's already set up). By using the reset argument, you'll be able to reset the application to its defaults. This might be helpful if something isn't working as expected.

  2. Check your discord client if the Richpresence is visible.
